Sorry my kid only shot our group. Don't know if Don Empey was taking any photos or not.

Group? #?

I was in the green group, no number on the bike. I was on a dark orange R6 with yellow rims.

Just realized that maybe I should post the pictures that I took....lol

This is the last of the ones I took. Not many, I know. Next time I'll try for more.

Thanks for posting pics. How fast was your shutter speed? The pics are quite sharp, but I find them lifeless. Not trying to be too critical, motorsport photography isn't easy. I like shots with relatively long exposure where you track the bike (1/60 or so) so things look like they are flying. Without tons of practice, most shots end up too blurry to use this way though.

Otherwise, if you can shoot bikes in corners the pics will be more dynamic. I don't know what positions are available to shoot from at Shanny. Your location could work with a long lens (200mm+ probably closer to 400) There is a great pic in the back of GSXR 113 (pic 5) if you had the reach to get it.

Are flashes allowed when shooting at the track?

Shutter speed?...lol!
These were all just quick shots on my cell phone from the wall on pit lane. I left my good camera at home because I didn't think I'd have time to get to a good vantage point.

Well then the cell phone has a much higher shutter speed than I expected. You have bikes quite close to you, some going almost directly across the sensor plane and you can still almost read the writing on the tires.

I was a little shocked when I looked at them later. I was just expecting most of them to be a blur...lol
